Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for decomposing cyclohexylhydroperoxide into cyclohexanone.
  • Cyclohexanone may be used for the production of caprolactam and/or adipic acid, both nylon intermediates.
  • a known route for cyclohexanone production involves oxidation of cyclohexane to yield a mixture containing cyclohexane, cyclohexanone, cyclohexanol, cyclohexylhydroperoxide and by-products.
  • cyclohexanone is the desired intermediate.
  • cyclohexylhydroperoxide can first be converted to cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol and the cyclohexanol can be converted to cyclohexanone in a separate step.
  • Document EP-A-092867 describes a process wherein an organic feed solution comprising cyclohexylhydroperoxide is treated with a transition metal salt like cobalt sulphate or chromium nitrate in the presence of an aqueous solution of an alkali metal hydroxide at a temperature of 70-115 0 C to obtain a mixture containing an organic phase comprising cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol and an aqueous phase.
  • a transition metal salt like cobalt sulphate or chromium nitrate
  • EP-A-092867 describes that effecting such a transition metal catalyzed, two-phase decomposition at temperatures of 70-115 0 C results in improved selectivity to cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol compared with effecting such decomposition at higher temperatures.
  • the molar ratio of cyclohexanone formed to cyclohexanol formed in the organic phase is usually at most 1.5.
  • molar ratio of cyclohexanone to cyclohexanol obtained in the decomposition reaction of cyclohexylhydroperoxide (hereinafter referred to as molar ratio of cyclohexanone formed to cyclohexanol formed) is markedly increased by effecting the decomposition of cyclohexylhydroperoxide in the presence of an aqueous base solution, but in the absence of a transition metal catalyst.
  • An increased molar ratio of cyclohexanone formed to cyclohexanol formed is advantageous in case for example caprolactam is the ultimate desired product because for the production of caprolactam cyclohexanone is the desired intermediate.
  • caprolactam is the ultimate desired product
  • an increased molar ratio of cyclohexanone formed to cyclohexanol formed is advantageous because less cyclohexanol needs to be isolated from the mixture obtained after decomposition and less cyclohexanol needs to be converted to cyclohexanone.
  • the cyclohexanone recovery and purification can be carried out easier.
  • the invention provides a process for decomposing cyclohexylhydroperoxide into cyclohexanone, said process comprising mixing an organic feed solution comprising cyclohexylhydroperoxide with an aqueous base solution in the absence of a transition metal catalyst resulting in a mixture comprising (i) an aqueous phase and (ii) an organic phase comprising cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol.
  • the invention further provides a process for decomposing cyclohexylhydroperoxide into cyclohexanone, said process comprising mixing an organic feed solution comprising cyclohexylhydroperoxide with an aqueous base solution in the absence of a transition metal catalyst resulting in a mixture containing (i) an aqueous phase and (ii) an organic phase comprising cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol, wherein the molar ratio of cyclohexanone formed to cyclohexanol formed in the organic phase is higher than 2.
  • this molar ratio is higher than 2.5 and even more preferably it is higher than 3.
  • a further advantage of the process according to the invention is that, compared with a process as for example described in EP-A-092867 a higher selectivity of the decomposition of cyclohexylhydroperoxide into cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol can be obtained. It has surprisingly been found that this high selectivity can even be maintained at increased temperatures. This was unexpected since the prior art relating to cyclohexylhydroperoxide decomposition in the presence of an aqueous base solution and a transition metal catalyst teaches that increased temperature results in decreased selectivity.
  • An additional advantage of the process according to the invention is that the base consumption can be reduced.
  • decomposing cyclohexylhydroperoxide present in the organic feed solution is effected in the absence of a transition metal catalyst. This is done by mixing the organic feed solution comprising cyclohexylhydroperoxide with the aqueous base solution in the absence of a transition metal catalyst.
  • effecting the decomposition in the absence of a transition metal catalyst implies that no transition metal compound is purposely added to the mixture to be decomposed in an amount that notably catalyzes the decomposition.
  • transition metal catalyst present in the organic feed solution is removed and/or deactivated before the organic feed solution enters the decomposition section to such an extent that there is no catalytic activity in the decomposition.
  • transition metal compounds that notably catalyses the decomposition, even when present at small concentrations, are Cr salts and especially Co salts. Therefore, the process of the present invention especially relates to effecting the decomposition without purposely adding a Co and/or Cr catalyst to the process of decomposing cyclohexylhydroperoxide.
  • the entering of transition metal compounds into the mixture that is subjected to decomposition, due to corrosion of the reactor wall, is, however, not considered as purposely adding a transition metal compound to the mixture that is subjected to decomposition.
  • the cyclohexylhydroperoxide which is decomposed in the process of the invention, can be obtained with various known processes.
  • preparing the cyclohexylhydroperoxide involves oxidizing cyclohexane with an oxygen containing gas in the absence of substances promoting the decomposition of the cyclohexylhydroperoxide formed (hereinafter referred to as uncatalyzed oxidation) resulting in an oxidation reaction mixture comprising cyclohexane, cyclohexanone, cyclohexanol, cyclohexylhydroperoxide, acids, esters, low boiling compounds, and high boiling compounds.
  • low boiling compounds organic compounds having a boiling point lower than cyclohexanone and higher than cyclohexane.
  • Examples are 1-butanol, 1-pentanal, 1-hexanal, 1-pentanol and epoxy-cyclohexane.
  • high boiling compounds organic compounds having a boiling point higher than cyclohexanol.
  • Examples are 2-cyclohexylidene cyclohexanone, 2-hexylidene cyclohexanone and 2-(cyclohexen-1-yl)cyclohexanone.
  • the oxidation usually takes place in the liquid phase.
  • oxygen-containing gas use can be made for instance of pure oxygen, air, rich or poor in oxygen, or oxygen mixed with nitrogen or another inert gas.
  • Suitable oxidation temperatures are between 120 and 200 0 C.
  • an oxidation temperature between 140 and 190 0 C is used.
  • the oxidation reaction is usually carried out for 5 minutes to 24 hours.
  • the pressure is usually between 0.1 and 5 MPa, preferably between 0.2 and 2.5 MPa.
  • Uncatalyzed cyclohexane oxidation is preferred to catalyzed cyclohexane oxidation because uncatalyzed cyclohexane oxidation results in higher yields of cyclohexylhydroperoxide and because there is no need to separate and/or deactivate the transition metal oxidation catalyst before decomposing the cyclohexylhydroperoxide with the process according to the invention.
  • the reaction mixture obtained in such uncatalyzed cyclohexane oxidation comprises a weight percentage of cyclohexylhydroperoxide that is at least comparable to the weight percentages of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol.
  • the amount of cyclohexylhydroperoxide in the reaction mixture obtained in such uncatalyzed cyclohexane oxidation is at least two times as large as the amount of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol.
  • the reaction mixture obtained by oxidation of cyclohexane with an oxygen-containing gas can be concentrated by separating, preferably by flashing or distilling, all or preferably part of the cyclohexane.
  • the oxidation reaction mixture may be treated with water or preferably with an aqueous alkaline solution, as for example described in EP-A-4105, for the purpose of neutralizing acids formed in the oxidation.
  • the total base consumption can be reduced by applying in the neutralisation at least a part of the aqueous phase that can be separated off from the reaction mixture after the decomposing.
  • the cyclohexylhydroperoxide to be decomposed according to the invention may be present in any organic feed solution.
  • the cyclohexylhydroperoxide concentration in the organic feed solution is not critical.
  • the cyclohexylhydroperoxide may for example be present in an organic feed solution comprising between 0.1 and 20 wt.% cyclohexylhydroperoxide (relative to the organic feed solution).
  • the organic feed solution comprising cyclohexylhydroperoxide usually also comprises other compounds, for example (1) cyclohexane and/or (2) cyclohexanone and/or (3) cyclohexanol.
  • the sum concentration of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol in the organic feed solution is not critical and is for instance between 0 and 20 wt.% (relative to the total organic feed solution).

  • said mixing is effected at a temperature higher than 70 0 C, more preferably higher than 80 °C, more preferably higher than 90 0 C and even more preferably higher than 100 °C.
  • Increasing the temperature results in an increase of the decomposition reaction velocity and hence lower residence times. It has surprisingly been found that increasing the temperature does not significantly impair the molar ratio of cyclohexanone formed to cyclohexanol formed in the organic phase and the selectivity of the decomposition of cyclohexylhydroperoxide into cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol.
  • cyclohexylhydroperoxide to be decomposed with the process of the invention is obtained by oxidizing cyclohexane
  • effecting said mixing at increased temperatures is in particular advantageous, in particular with respect to reduction of energy consumption, because at increased decomposition temperatures the degree of cooling of the reaction mixture leaving the oxidation reactor before allowing the cyclohexylhydroperoxide to decompose can be reduced.
  • said mixing is effected at a temperature lower than 170 0 C, more preferably lower than 160 0 C and even more preferably lower than 150 0 C.
  • effecting the decomposing at a temperature higher than 160 0 C may result in a decrease of the molar ratio of cyclohexanone formed to cyclohexanol formed in the organic phase and may result in a decrease of the selectivity of the decomposition of cyclohexylhydroperoxide into cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol.

  • an increased pH of the aqueous phase results in an increased base consumption.
  • the mixing is advantageously effected at high temperature and relatively high pH of the aqueous phase, because this results in a high selectivity to cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol and in a high molar ratio of cyclohexanone formed to cyclohexanol formed and at the same time in decreased energy consumption.
